His resume is solid. He has mentored some pretty good linebackers in his career. I'm not a big fan of Miami's linebacker play recently, but they seem to have a bit of an issue in age (Porter, Taylor) and talent (everyone else).

Charlie Strong was a holdover from the previous coaching staff, so Meyer doesn't get credit for hiring him, but that said, he was smart enough to hold on to him. My feeling is that you don't have prolonged success as a Head Coach if you don't know how to surround yourself with talented coordinators (Hence the "Bill Walsh coaching tree" idea). I trust Urban on this hire.

I can’t say enough about my two favorite blogs Get the Picture and Saurian Sagacity. There are not two more consistently thought-provoking and analytical college football blogs on the internet.

Rare is the SMQ shout out for the sole purpose of shouting out, but even rarer is the high substantive quality of disinterested naysaying in progress at Saurian Sagacity, where poster Mergz is steadily blowing up notions of "National Championships" new and old...-Sunday Morning Quarterback

In the old days, long before Urban Meyer roamed the sidelines at The Swamp, even before Steve Spurrier was slinging touchdowns and kicking game-winning field goals, some sports writers gave the University of Florida's football team a long-forgotten nickname: theSaurians. Today, two Florida alums pay tribute to those scribes of old as we enjoy the present and look toward the future.
